9708 Oakland Drive, Portage MI

If you've been dreaming of open skies, fresh air, and the chance to live out your hobby farm or horse-loving lifestyle—all without leaving the city—this is the opportunity you've been waiting for.

Welcome to 9708 Oakland Drive, a rare 5.3-acre property nestled in the heart of Portage. Acreage like this is hard to come by within city limits, especially with space for horses, gardens, and more. The property backs up to the expansive Gourdneck State Game Area, offering over 2,200 acres of protected natural beauty, trails, and wildlife right outside your back door.

This inviting 3-bedroom, 2-bath home features warm wood tones, a custom fieldstone fireplace, and recent updates including a new roof, windows, bathroom remodel, water heater, and exterior paint. For animal lovers or aspiring homesteaders, the outdoor setup includes a barn with stalls, a fenced riding arena adjacent to the barn, and a separate animal shelter at the back of the property.

Looking for flexibility? There’s ample space to add an in-law suite, guest house, or auxiliary dwelling unit. Or consider the option to split the land into two parcels for future development or family living close by.

Whether you're starting a hobby farm, keeping horses at home, or simply seeking a peaceful retreat with the convenience of nearby schools and shopping, this property offers the best of both worlds.
